    Pruriception and neuronal coding in nociceptor subtypes in human and nonhuman primates

    Amanda Klein, Hans Jürgen Solinski ... Matthias Ringkamp
    MRGPRD and MRGRPX1 are co-expressed in primate DRG neurons, but β-alanine and BAM8-22, preferentially activate CMH-subclasses, and co-activating different cutaneous nociceptors by pruritogens does not change itch sensation to pain.

    Tyramine induces dynamic RNP granule remodeling and translation activation in the Drosophila brain

    Nadia Formicola, Marjorie Heim ... Florence Besse
    Tyramine-dependent signaling triggers decondensation of neuronal RNP components and rapid translation activation of target mRNAs.

    Microbial genetic and transcriptional contributions to oxalate degradation by the gut microbiota in health and disease

    Menghan Liu, Joseph C Devlin ... Lama Nazzal
    A novel multi-omics framework revealed the taxonomic contribution to microbiota oxalate, demontrated O. formigenes as the dominating taxon transcriptionally, and identified specific IBD cohort at risk for oxalte toxicity.

    Ligand sensing enhances bacterial flagellar motor output via stator recruitment

    Farha Naaz, Megha Agrawal ... KV Venkatesh
    Sensing of ligands by chemoreceptors of Escherichia coli not only causes changes in the rotational bias of the flagellar motors but also increases motor speed via temporary recruitment of stators.

    Whole-organism eQTL mapping at cellular resolution with single-cell sequencing

    Eyal Ben-David, James Boocock ... Leonid Kruglyak
    The effect of genetic variation on gene expression can be specific down to the level of individual cells.

    The cis-regulatory effects of modern human-specific variants

    Carly V Weiss, Lana Harshman ... David Gokhman
    A genome-wide catalog of the regulatory effects of variants that separate modern humans from archaic humans.

    Identification of functionally distinct macrophage subpopulations in Drosophila

    Jonathon Alexis Coates, Elliot Brooks ... Iwan Robert Evans
    Drosophila macrophages are a heterogeneous population of cells containing subpopulations with enhanced responses to injury that display considerable variation in their abundance across development.

    NusG is an intrinsic transcription termination factor that stimulates motility and coordinates gene expression with NusA

    Zachary F Mandell, Reid T Oshiro ... Paul Babitzke
    The general transcription elongation factor NusG functions as an intrinsic termination factor in Bacillus subtilis and together with NusA coordinates global gene expression including the motility regulon.

    Intravital quantification reveals dynamic calcium concentration changes across B cell differentiation stages

    Carolin Ulbricht, Ruth Leben ... Anja E Hauser
    Heterogeneity in cytoplasmic calcium concentration alongside B cell activation and differentiation is measured intravitally using an interdisciplinary imaging approach and novel numerical analysis.

    Allosteric communication in class A β-lactamases occurs via cooperative coupling of loop dynamics

    Ioannis Galdadas, Shen Qu ... Shozeb Haider
    A combination of equilibrium and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations is an effective tool to study allosteric communications in ultrafast enzymes that show little or no conformational changes.
